Nana's loss....

well....i've lost more than you all....and i forget to eat.

oh well.

Emily's loss

Well I was gonna say...I lost approx 10 lbs... I guess I was beat! UGH! :) well Congrats...unless someone did better. I wasn't sure if we were going to post our finales? I will do measurments later!

Who Won

I lost 18 pounds. Did anyone beat me?

Contest

How about extending until Thanksgiving morning? Take a couple minutes to measure and weigh before beginning the cooking-fest.

Hmmmm???

Okay - let's extend the end of this "contest" how much longer ? - but I'm sad to say, that, well....a ticket to Singapore is asking alot of 2 certain people in your lives (they cost almost $2000 EACH now) and since "they've" already spent nearly $15,000 getting the family to Singapore?? well.....I think it's only fair to ask that you all find a different "ultimate" prize that you pay for. We love you and we ALL want to get thinner and healthier and that's prize enough for me.

cool!

Ok so since everyone said I better pick a better incentive...I just found one...Thank so Manda! Bwaahahahaha!!!
I am totally in favor of extending the time of the contest, although I must admit I don't remember when the end date was supposed to be.... I have lost weight but still look flabby! LOL. Anyway, I will work harder because I too, want a TICKET TO SINGAPORE for my reward!! Because I am gonna WINNNNNN!!! :)

5 more days

Anybody interested in extending the contest? I lost weight last week doing the 7day diet, so I'm back to 155. BTW, if I win I want one ticket to Singapore.

no weight loss

well maybe that 1-2 lbs. that keeps showing back up - But BOY! I'm getting more fit everyday...walking...water aerobics...tae bo...i do it and "I've got muskels" =-)

admisssssion

Okay, so I haven't lost any weight...in fact I've gained...any amount of gain is DEFINITELY a bad thing, so I won't tell you how much right now.

I have learned/realized a new truth: I have MUCH to gain by losing weight. Here's my list that I'm posting on my bedroom door to help me. Keeping it positive.

1. Energy
2. Cute clothes
3. Good body image
4. Clear skin
5. Healthy GI Tract (indigestion/stomach acid)
6. Better breathing (no snoring)
7. Healthier thyroid
8. Better back
9. Happiness

That's a pretty darn good list. I'm looking forward to losing and gaining. I'm going to be using the Sacred Heart Diet to start because the exercise/eating differently doesn't work when you're too depressed and tired to care. So a quick loss and while I'm losing I'll gain energy and care to get a more long-term change going. That's the goal...and if I accomplish this, Dad, you don't have a cheatin' chance in this contest! hehehe!!!

Just made a weight loss goal chart...we don't have much longer in this contest. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll email it to you.

Soooo

I (Emily) have noticed that I am not the only one who hasn't posted anything. However, I have lost a few pounds. I am down to about 134. Hurray for me, although I am not doing much to help myself, just trying to eat less. Good luck to you all and hope to hear some updates!!

Nanamama

I'm using the "home test". It says that I'm 29% body fat - which is up from the last time I measured -- so...........

I've gained -- not surprising considering how I've been eating the last 2 weeks ;-) and I've not been exercising as much as I was at the beginning.

Time to start over!....after Emily leaves;-) (boo hoo!)

Olivia

Back Where I Started

I have been less than diligent and am back where I started. See earlier post on weight and body fat. This is tougher than it used to be.

Memily

I actually am not sure what my weight is. I have been working out since I have been in WA.
I will go weigh myself right now....
139 after dinner so..no weight loss! Ahhhhhh
But that is on a different scale so who knows

Olivia

Weight: 127
GRRRR... I feel like I have hit a wall.
Changing my workout tactics tonight.
Hopefully be doing the fat thing later.

Nanamama

Nanamama

Well! =( no weight loss here this week!!
Let's see about measurements??
28.5% ? loss?? nope! At least it wasn't a gain - you would be shocked at the junk I ate this week - only serves me right!!

Better luck next week! =)

Saturday Report

It is easier for me to report on Saturday or Sunday. This morning my weight was 242.5 lbs. I have lost an inch off my weight and hips (both 47 inches now), body fat is 36% by Navy method. I will make myself a banana-mango-yogurt smoothie as reward.

Nana-banana mid-week

but better than skipping a whole week.

weight: 155.6 lbs
body fat: 28.5%

lost?? Of course, each day is different and flucuates within the day -- I do my measurements in the morning before I eat anything - even water.

I'll get back on track Monday (is that the day we report or is it Sunday?)

Sadah

So I just got home last night and I didn't measure myself but I did weight myself...
It is a new scale so it won't be real accurate when comparing to my last posts.

Weight: 144.2

Emily

Ok so I have lost weight (now 135) but I am pretty sure no body fat. Although I haven't checked. Getting ready to do too many things here! See ya soon!!

Olivia!

Ok, so I have started working out and I actually like the way my clothes are fitting better.

Weight: 128
Body Fat-Navy: 33.13%

Amanda

Dad

OK. I'm in. I weigh 250 pounds. My body fat is 28.4% by the Bailey/Covert method and 38.24% by the Navy method. My big reward will be scuba diving lessons. This weeks reward for finally doing a blog entry will be another bowl of my homemade chicken soup. I can brag that I am choosing this instead of a bowl of ice cream.

Olivia

Ok, so I started working out today. Hee hee hee. I am borrowing a PlayStation 2 and a 'game' called 'Fitness Yourself' It is really cool and actually really hard!

I just ate...but I will weigh in anyway.

Weight: 128

Sarah Jane Pain

I did indeed loose some inchage and weight. Not much but enough to get a prize and be excited about loosing. I decided not to get a pint of ice cream... :( I haven't gotten anything yet because I'm poor and mom paying for my prize wouldn't be as rewarding...

Weight: 146
1st BF%: 25.1%
2nd Navy BF%: 34.9%

YAY!

Emily

Um I didn't even measure because I didn't do anything to change my status and if anything, it is the same or worse!.........
